Which Added Element to BW live improves the song most?

What added element to a Big Whiskey song played live improves the song the most?

Gut reaction will probably be LITHOG but I would argue that that song is strong even without Jeff's extended outro solo, and so doesn't necessarily IMPROVE the song by all that much. Ya get me?

Dive In has never been my favorite on the album, but loved those outros they played in 2009 through their European tour and then stopped doing. Made the song for me. The Funny intro is bad ass, as was the Why I am Improv Intro, and I've always loved the upped intensity of Dave's vocals on Squirm live. Dunno what I'm gonna vote!

Shake Me Like a Monkey - Up tempo/"Fuck Me Like a Donkey/Doggy"
Funny the Way It Is - Extended Intro
Lying In the Hands of God - Jeff's Extended Outro Jam
Why I Am - 2012 Improv Intros
Dive In - First Part of 2009 Extended Outro
Spaceman - Rashawn's extended trumpet solo
Squirm - Addition of Horns to the chorus/Dave's screaming
Seven - Tim's extended solo
Alligator Pie - Boyd's extended solo
Time Bomb - Extended Intro

    I was always a fan of FTWII so the intro only added to that....but Rashawn's solo on Spaceman really made that song better for me

    Rashawn's Spaceman solo - Check out Gorge Caravan 2011 or Jones Beach 2012.

    Tim's extended Seven solo - I wish it was longer (that's what she said ())

    Jeff's Lying in the Hand's of God jam - Love it.

    Spaceman- Definitely Rashawn's solo. That sound I can't get enough of.

    Why I Am - I still get chills when I hear the crowd react to the GGK chorus reference.

    Squirm - Love the intensity he brings to the chorus. (Also the slight letdown when you realize the red guitar didn't bring you Shotgun.)

    My vote - Squirm

    Improv intro to WIA is pretty awesome, made the biggest difference to me.

    Honorable mention to FTWII and Spaceman

    Really cool thread op. The intro to Funny is insane awesome and hope it returns. However, the winner of this poll should without a doubt be lithog easily.

    Nothing good about making LITHOG or Dive In longer.

    Funny intro at Alpine was pretty sweet I have to admit. Wasn't expecting it to be that good, but it's a good way to start a show. Only thing I really hate from that list is the Fuck me like a Donkey lyric in SMLAM.

    I love hands of god. Love the jam. Jeff is a champ the longer the better. I also love Funnys intro. Especially deer creeks from last year. I was bummed it disappeared for the winter

    LITHOG jam times infinity. The FTWII intro is good, and the Mansfield WIA was amazing, but neither compares to the face melting goodness of LITHOG when everyone is playing their guts out.

    I voted for Funny, LITHOG was a close second, and I think Time Bomb is third for me. I LOVE the intro to Time Bomb. The timing is funky and it's fun to dance to.

    Squirm is the best song on the album and the live additions have only made it better. Squirm for me, no question.

    I went the exact same way.

    And if I could cast a vote for the song that has gotten worse live, it would be LITHOG. The long jam is a mess.

    the funny the way it is intro at randalls was amazing. I voted for it cuz of that.

    Why i am's intro this year definitely added a lot to the shong as well. Spaceman has certainly improved a lot, Rashawn is an animal. And Lithog at randalls was fantastic, the reggae style jam that jeff, stefan and tim did was awesome, but they didnt play the song too much this year, so its hard to tell.

    I went with LITHOG because I love that jam, but Dave screaming on Squirm, if the song is in the right spot (right after a high energy opener that the crowd is really into), is awesome.
